In a tour of recent Nordic music, this concert offers several examples of composers who were inspired by elements from early modernism and neoclassicism and who at the same time held fast to their Nordic origins.

Both the Swedish Rosenberg and the Norwegian Sæverud and our own Carl Nielsen introduced modernist musical ideas into national romantic-based musical cultures. With Sæverud this is already visible in the titles, which refer to Norwegian folk music, and with Carl Nielsen this is heard through his creation of his own musical language, where he mixes Danish folk tunes and impressionism, of which his work “Pan and Syrinx” is a typical example.

Hannibal orders nothing but hanging. His days drag on boringly while his grandmother knits chickens, and his parents endlessly tell how healthy boys made time pass in the old days. But Hannibal doesn't think it's as much fun as when his father was a boy, so he just hangs on. It's not until the talking dog, Jerry, moves in that everyday life gets a bit of color, and the two become the best of friends in the world.

Winnie finds herself buried up to her waist in a pile of dung, but is determined to carry on with her chores as best she can. With her is a small bag, an umbrella, and her husband Willie. Despite the relentless sun and the fact that she is slowly sinking deeper and deeper into the pile, Winnie insists that this is a happy day; every day is a happy day.

Feel the magic of music when masterpieces by Brahms, Klughardt and Schuller come together in a concert with rich harmonies, emotional sounds and the tonal language of jazz. 

Brahms has composed some of the most beloved chamber music, loved by both musicians and listeners, and the music both fascinates and inspires constantly. It is music in a romantic tone language full of emotions and rich sounds and at the same time built up with a clear structure. Brahms lived most of his life in Vienna, but had roots in Hamburg – and perhaps that is precisely why his music also carries a fundamental tone of Nordic weight and reflection.

Masterpieces And Hidden Treasures

Experience Iben Hjejle and Alexander Bryld Obaze in the theatrical adaptation of Katrine Marie Guldager’s sharp-witted and critically acclaimed novel.

Lotte has been abandoned by the love of her life, Michael, and, to make matters worse, has also been dismissed from her job as a social worker. Then, out of the blue, Michael’s grown-up son, Daniel, calls—he has been unable to reach his father. Together, they discover Michael dead in his flat.

As Lotte and Daniel attempt to unravel the mystery of Michael’s sudden death, she is unwillingly drawn into her neighbour’s turbulent marital crisis, disrupted by her job consultant’s relentless demands for CV-writing courses, and confronted by former colleagues who—full of sympathy—lament her unfair dismissal. On top of it all, she finds herself looking after her neighbour’s children while the neighbour resolves her marriage troubles in Lotte’s own bed.

The music takes us around the world to this very special concert with both a brand new premiere and with the young pianist star Valdemar Wenzel Most, who is once again a guest of the Esbjerg Ensemble. 

From Eastern Europe, we will listen to a Romanian rhapsody by Enescu, who himself was a legendary composer and virtuoso musician on both violin and piano. 

Russian Shostakovich's work was composed when he was just 16 years old, and compared to his later works, it also sounds very much like the romantic style from the previous century.  

Sunset In The East And West

Welcome to a concert featuring Beethoven's timeless tones in conjunction with works by four other remarkable composers, whose creativity and unique voices have contributed significantly to the modern musical landscape.

Rhythmic energy characterizes both Nørgård and Martinus' works. In  Fire over Water  both fire and water are present and an intense rhythmic energy describes the contrasting elements. In Martinus' work the rhythmic energy is shown in an expressive dialogue between violin and cello and at the same time with a refined balance between the two instruments.

A rhythmic intensity is continued in the alternation with lyrical passages in Milhaud's suite inspired by the French medieval atmosphere with musical depictions of everything from jesters to hunting scenes.

Join us on a very special musical adventure. English cellist and composer Birchall has set music to two of the most beloved stories from English literature, and actress Lotte Andersen brings the words to life.

The Wind in the Willows is the beautiful, crazy and perhaps also a little creepy story about the badger, the rat and the mole, who live their quiet lives by the river, but their friend, the flamboyant and transgressive toad, gets into an accident with his car, and they have to help him.  

Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland has been made in countless versions and has, with its quirky characters and inventions, inspired a multitude of artists in music, film, visual arts and theatre. An incredible story about the girl Alice, who is bored and therefore crawls down the rabbit hole and sets out on a wondrous journey in a very special land.

Music In Fairyland

We look forward to welcoming Ensemble MidtVest back to Esbjerg with a broad program featuring some of chamber music's finest composers.
Ensemble MidtVest is based primarily at the HEART art museum and creates exciting musical experiences in the tension between traditional chamber concerts and innovative outreach formats.

Guest Concert With Ensemble Midwest

Welcome to a concert with Esbjerg Ensemble's own musicians as soloists and with oboe, horn and percussion at the center. 

Look forward to Gerald Finzi's beautiful  Interlude in A minor , played by our oboist David Daniel Dinu, where the interaction with the homogeneous sound of the string quartet emphasizes the lyrical sound of the oboe. And to Jovilet's Sérénade , where the oboe is again at the forefront of the soundscape, but in the interaction with the rest of the ensemble retains its chamber musical expression.
